Work-related back pain is a global epidemic. In fact, back pain continues to be the leading overall cause of physical dysfunction and lost productivity in the workplace. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders, including back pain, have accounted for “a significant proportion of work injuries and workers’ compensation claims in industrialized nations since the late 1980s.” (Brain Behav Immun 2006;20:423-9.) We believe the need for injury-prevention education and promotion of drug-free therapeutic alternatives — such as chiropractic care — is more crucial than ever. Don’t wait until work-related back pain strikes to schedule a chiropractic evaluation. Because, when it comes to back pain, prevention is key.Dr. Barbara Smith |
